The girls' version, surprisingly enough, is more sensible. The comments in both are pretty disturbing, though. Some can't resist the urge to trot out a lot of homophobic rhetoric, while others seem swayed by some kind of circular logic that "stupid movie is stupid", and therefore the world is actually free of sociopaths. Or is that appeal to ridicule? Either way, those videos somehow led me here. By god, it was worth the trip. On another note, here are some tutorials on musical scales and such. Jazz; piano Bossa Nova; guitar After hearing a few chords of that second video, I had to look up a hunch, but it seems the similarity is coincidental.

At least one comment was unusually ingenious: "Norma Neufner: Policewoman That should be a TV series."

Diablo II. Four players start fresh, hardcore Barbarians. Their goal: to run as far as they can get from the Rogue Encampment without using any items, equipment, or shrines. The last ~3 minutes is blank for some reason.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'ingenious', since primetime has been saturated with cop dramas for years. Though, maybe if Norma were a raging homophobe... :p

Could someone provide an explanation for those who have never played the game?

"Hardcore" means "permanent death". So basically these characters are trying to see how far they can run through the game while dodging every attack, with no way to fight back, increase their defense, or heal. This is fairly straightforward for the first few zones, because they're outdoors (meaning lots of room to run around enemies) and there's a road to follow to get to the next zone. Once they go underground, though, things get more cramped and they have no idea where to go. The underground area is a passageway between two zones, but it also has a second level that just has some extra monsters and a treasure chest. The player being followed in that video managed to make it to that second level before dying (it's pretty clear he wouldn't have made it any further at that point). The main complication for this kind of run is that your stamina gets used up when running, and you have to stop moving for a bit and switch to walking for it to start recovering. So you have to decide when to run and when to walk.

Huh. Seems they do. Though, you couldn't rightly call this pike 'indiscriminate.'

Cool video (that language they're speaking is Swedish if anyone's wondering). :)

These are my favorite commercials. http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=51DBD50C3CD5D53B I recommend watching the 30 second ones, those are the best.

Ah. I kind of assumed it was German. Not that I was listening too closely. Here are katterna I just found: Engineer's guide to cats, and an in-depth guide to cat yodeling. Also, the "Maru" referred to in a recent xkcd.

I don't know if that's some evidence or a tool used by policemen to make people confess their crimes faster. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqpMSbS3I38 EDIT: This is for you who don't know this song's lyrics http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3umP5nrTDtA

I'm aware of that, Phallosvogel. It is a major shame though. I would love to have a Megaman game I can actually play with friends and family. It's why I've taken such a strong and quick liking to New Super Mario Bros Wii. Can't help but laugh at Spiked wall Man though.
